According to Israeli complaints, Iranian couriers fly from Tehran to Beirut’s International Airport with compressed luggage in American dollars. In addition, Israel claimed in its complaints that Turkish citizens transferred funds from Istanbul to Beirut.

The ceasefire committee, which is made up of Israeli, Lebanon, US representatives, France and the UN, confirmed that the complaints were transferred to the Lebanese government.

An Iranian diplomat who was on the plane refused to cooperate and entered Lebanon with two luggage that Iran claimed to contain documents and cash for the embassy activity, according to the Lebanese Foreign Ministry.
